Hitler's brown shirts and the Russian peasants were work hardened, poverty 
hardened, people who had not only been used to providing for their own needs, 
but supporting useless parasites on the back of it as well.

You are suggesting the useless parasites will suddenly grow a backbone, grow 
a pair, become used to the hardscrabble life of a revolutionary, endure 
hunger, cold and return fire all ..... to .... what?  Get their cubicles 
back??

I may be underestimating the barbarity under the sheen of civilization, but I 
am not underestimating the marshmallows, limp noodles, and chicken hearts 
under there.
